Bumping Their Face And Rubbing Up Against Something

Many people know that cats bump their face into people’s legs or forehead, though when a cat head-butts you, they aren’t starting a fight. Quite the contrary, experts believe a cat head-butts someone to say hello and it’s a gesture which says the feline trusts the person and feels safe with them.
